Full Day Workshop
Full Day Workshop
Come and spend the day in the Old Barn Leather studio, where you will learn about leather and make a small project using the tools and materials typical in a leather crafter’s workshop.
During the day, you will learn about several different leathercraft techniques and you will have a go at using all the tools and equipment in the workshop. Once you’ve had a go at the different processes, you can choose a small project that you will be able to finish and take home.
Perhaps you already have a project in mind. How about an axe cover or knife sheath? Or would you like to have a go at making a wristband or maybe a passport cover? There is space on the online form to tell me if you have any specific ideas about what you would like to make.
PLEASE BRING A PACKED LUNCH.
